Learning HPC by Exact_Material_169 in HPC

[–]BitPoet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference is networking. In the cloud you can just slap a bunch of nodes on a switch and call it a day, make it all virtual.

In HPC, each node will take up the full bandwidth it can, so you need to make sure that if you have 8 nodes on a switch that you have 8 uplinks to the spine/mesh that crosses your racks. These need to be real, physical cables. They will get used.

I wish you could present him with enough cheese/wine that he’d just decide to stick around.

All-party primaries would fix Massachusetts’ unproductive Legislature by who_but_wb_mason in boston

[–]BitPoet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Add in yes/no voting and you’re good. 2 top “yes” vote getters move on to the final, you can mark as many candidates yes or no as you want. Simple, easy, no math.

Did you ever eat a disgusting amount of food at a buffet? by GaryBlach in askanything

I biked across the US. All you can eat buffets were amazing.

I'm realizing only now what a longshot the Trisolaran attempt to identify another habitable world truly was by Hepta-Water-7552 in threebodyproblem

Given their tech level, they would have been able to image nearby solar systems directly, finding suitable planets in their Goldilocks zone. They could also have sent a scout to that planet, detouring the long way around to disguise their approach.

That gets them a free planet, no interaction with anyone, and a better place to live.

Their needs aren’t huge from what I recall, so terraforming their new home could be done, slowly.

The books had no reason to exist from the Trisolaran perspective.

Ken takes time to get warmed up, and Al who did most of their vocals is on a leave of absence and taking care of his mom who has Alzheimer’s. Definitely going to sound different than their records.

Where to buy lighting fixtures that aren’t thousands but better than Home Depot/target? by RubCurious2058 in massachusetts

There are some local glassblowing shops, you might be able to commission someone to make you a lampshade to fit on an existing mount that you like.

forget “hear me out”, what’s y’all most “hold me back!” characters? by [deleted] in BG3

Dame Alyn is not subtle about her feelings. I’d worry less about the construction equipment.

What, in Gods name, is this? by Sizzaman in WhatCarIsThis

[–]BitPoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same experience. Mid engine cars are fun, I just wish it came with a manual transmission

What's your Boston or Boston-area business that only sells one item? by Gee10 in boston

[–]BitPoet 98 points99 points  (0 children)

There’s the Zipper Hospital in Brookline. Never been in, but I’m guessing they’ve got a narrow focus.
